I thought increasing was the way to go but I have read that the low doses were best. Any thought? I was thinking on doing a trial of a different AP risperdal...but zyprexa is still ok...I just had such a great response right away where all AD's had mostly failed. That first 4 days I felt like I was freer, alert, more real energy, confident yet realistic of my "issues" etc, and alive...Do ya know what I mean? It is still there somewhat... Oh I even skied better-weird huh...Only gained 2lbs so far
